There's a hidden opening that leads to the underground passageway in my room and no one bothered to tell me!I knew it was not the time for questions but I could not help it.“Why is there a hole that leads to the underground tunnel in my room?” I ask as we run down the stairs that were attached to the wall. The sound of low grunts still reaching our ears but I was curious.That was dangerous.Wasn't that where those men came from the other time, what if they found out that they could get in through my room.“He wanted you to be safe and wanted you to have an escape route, should the worst happen and he cannot protect you.” He said as we ran. Out of breath and panting, I nod my head but the feeling in my heart was far from that simple nod.He wanted to protect me that much?I meant that much to him?But when he brought me to this room, he still hated me, didn't he?So many questions ran through my mind but I would never get answers to them should anything happen to him and quite hone
All i could see was blood. Blood that pooled from his side's, from his eyes, from his nose and honestly every single part of him that could bleed was bleeding.My heart constricted in fear and pain as I took a step close. I knew that I was told to run away if I saw someone else that wasn't them that I knew but the figure in the black cloak was the least if my worries as all I could see was Lorenzo who was so still, it looked like he was dead.No, he can't be.He's extremely strong, right?And we came here as fast as we could, didn't we?As I took some steps towards him without thinking, the figure in black immediately turned to attack me but was met with fierce resistance from Daniel and I took that chance to run to him.Tears had covered my whole face and blurred my vision already, and so I blinked aggressively because I needed to see him.As still as he was, I saw his eyes open up slowly and the tears poured out again. They looked so weak, he looked so weak, like he didn't have any
It's been two days now, and he's still unconscious. As scared as I am, I draw comfort from the fact that he's still breathing.As long as he's still breathing, he's alive.Daniel had even told me to calm down when I had an outburst at why everyone was so calm and going about their day like nothing happened when their leader was laying almost lifeless, and was made to understand that this was not even the fifth time he had been in a coma like this, and the thought just burdened my heart and made me feel sad for him.I knew he was a strong man, and knew that it was obviously not easy to run a gang and had your father killed at a young age, but being in coma looking normal because of his many times he's had gotten so close to death was crazy. I could not help but wonder and be curious as to what exactly he had gone through. Walking into his room like I did everyday since he was transported back to his own room, I clean his face and hands, and use Chapstick on his dry lips.I could not
Lately, life has felt like a bed of roses, but unfortunately, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop because I knew that there was no way my life was this sweet so fast and would remain so. I hated to think in such a pessimistic way but I could not help it because it was the truth. There was never a time when I experienced the slightest joy that something did not happen to take it all away. “Hey love.” Lorenzo greeted as he entered my room like he had been doing since he started to recover and was able to leave his bed. Smiling, I lean into him as he kissed me on the cheek while turning to hug me. I felt so warm, so important, so cherished, and honestly amazed at how unrestrained he had been with his feelings for me. Not that I'm complaining. “Good morning.” I greeted in return as he broke the hug to look at me, while caressing my face softly in his hand. His gaze was one that always made me wonder just how he adored me so much. Was he even the same person whose expressions
Lorenzo's P.O.V“I found this.” Daniel came in with a sharp tool and dropped it on the table. As soon as it got dropped on my table, I realized that it was familiar. Not just familiar, knew who it belonged to because I was the one who gave it to her.“Janet.” I say out loud, and Daniel nodded in response knowing very well that it was the tool that I trained them with. It was used instead of a dart and was very effective in extreme cases.I trained her with it and she poisoned me with it. How ironic Flashback:That day, immediately after I left my wife, I perceived a smell that I knew was not natural, and traced it.It was similar to the smell of the latest poison I was poisoned with before I escaped that underground laboratory but still different as it did but carry the same amount of potency in its smell.I immediately knew that there was only one person that knew that particular poison, and would be able to find something so similar.Not wanting any casualties, I chased the smell
I stared out the window, admiring the stars in the night sky as I waited for Lorenzo, and a text back from Warren whom I had not seen recently, and wanted to know if he was okay and healthy.“Hey, I've just been a bit caught up with work. My father wants to handover soon” He responds with an emoji that looked like a sigh.“Okay, I was just worried and glad that you're okay.” I said to him and closed my phone.I had noticed how busy Lorenzo had been these days and although I had not asked, I could see very well that he was troubled by something.These days, life has been worth living. His home was slowly becoming my safe haven, especially because he was in it, and knowing that he had my back and loved me, was an addition to the peace that bummed deep in my soul.“Hi Love.” Lorenzo greeted as soon as he opened the door and saw me, which took me by surprise because I definitely did not hear his car come in.“Hi.” I respond with a smile while leaning in to take his kiss on my cheek as he
Lorenzo's kiss had left me breathless, a whirlwind of emotions swirling through my mind. It was as if time had stopped the moment our lips met, and now, as I stood there, my heart racing, I could barely process what had just happened. The warmth of his body was still lingering on my skin, and the taste of him was intoxicating. I felt a mix of exhilaration and comfort, but the fear of the unknown still plagued meAs I looked into his eyes, I could see the questions reflected back at me. Lorenzo had always been intense, his gaze piercing through any facade I tried to maintain. I could tell he was waiting for me to say something, anything, but the words felt stuck in my throat. What did he mean to me? The answer seemed so simple yet so complicated at the same time.In that moment, I thought back to all the times we had spent together. The way he cared for me whether subtly or not, the ones k knew of and the ones I didn’t. We had shared laughter, secrets, and even pain. Our connection th
Squealing and stretching from the good night's sleep I had, made me feel so fulfilled. I always felt awake only after I had stretched out in the morning. Weird, maybe. “Good morning love.” I hear Lorenzo say as he opened his door, walking to me and kissing me on my forehead, sitting down next to me. “You're so beautiful.” He complimented as he lagged my hard down, trying to put my wild culs back in place but obviously, they were not as obedient as he imagined. “That feels like a backhanded compliment. I know what I look like when I wake up.” I respond with a little smile, covering my face with the blanket that I had kicked away from me. He was not having it though, and chose to get under the blanket with me. What was just a harmless conversation, suddenly turned into a tickle attack. One that I could just escape from even if I tried my possible best to. Laughing my ass off, I finally escape by falling down with all my wiggling and screaming. Still laigjungm he came out of the
Lorenzo’s P.O.VAfter getting information that Donga had finally appeared somewhere, I could not even hold myself back and I loved round the office, waiting for a specific location. It was shocking to even me myself how riled up and angry I get whenever I heard of him. All I wanted was to see him suffer and as if my hatred was not enough, he was a monster to his daughter, the woman I love. It just made me understand how much of a bastard he was. If he could treat his own seed in that manner, who could he not betray. He had no heart and was not to be treated as a person that possessed one. I had been in the phone for about an hour waiting for Mica to get his exact location. The boy was just 19 but a genius when it came to locating people, just like Logan. “Got him,” Mico said over the line. “Donga. He’s alive. And he’s in Tangier.”. The boy said with a proud tone and I immediately realize that my wife who was standing just a few feet away, had frozen. It was like she was in fro
Walking out of Sarah’s room, I noticed that the rain that had the whole sky cackling with so much thunder and lightning,had finally stopped. A hush settled over the city, that odd quiet that only follows a storm, as if the buildings themselves were holding their breath. The streets glistened as the remnants of the storm polished pavements.Whenever I was in feel thought, I begin to see nature clearly and appreciate it even more. The smell of petrichor hit my nose and I inhaled the calm that came with it, which contrasted the plan we were just about to hatch. Daniel stood beside me, still, unreadable as usual. His coat collar was turned up against the wind, though it had died an hour ago. I envied his calm.In this moment, I was angry. Very angry and didn’t care about pretending he be calm. Janet’s attack had rattled more than the walls of the sanctum. Her betrayal was like a knife to my souls because I truly did consider her my sister.I had trusted her. I had spared her. And in r
